At Old Mr. Jefferson’s intrusive suggestion, the Baileys were stunned. Even Sophia and John were both
surprised at his remark. The couple definitely was not considering having children.
In the past, Sophia had dreamed of having children with John. Now, she only felt thankful that she did
not bear his child. Otherwise, her life would have been turned upside-down.
Sophia was the first to smile at Old Mr. Jefferson. “Well, we’re not in a hurry to have kids. It’s only been
a year since our marriage, and he’s so busy. We don’t have much time to enjoy our newlywed period,
so I’d prefer to stay this way for now and only consider having children in the future.”
John was holding her hand, and he felt the ring on her finger. Playing along, he added, “Yeah, we’re not
considering kids for now. It’s best to enjoy the newlywed life for now.”
Old Mr. Jefferson nodded at them. “That’s true. With kids, you won’t have much time between
yourselves.”
John and Sophia smiled politely at him and stopped replying. Soon, he left with her, and Logan left after
them.
The three of them bid their farewell to the people in the room. After two of them left, everyone knew
that the dinner would have to wrap up soon.
Feeling happy, Sophia allowed John to hold her hand until the entrance of the hotel.
Tonight, Logan did not drink, and he strode behind them. “Alright. You guys should head home. I will go

Sophia had some reminders for Logan, but due to John’s presence, she could not talk freely to Logan.
However, John turned around and asked Logan without hesitation, “Why are the Baileys meeting with
the Jeffersons?”
Logan clicked his tongue. “I’m confused too. Just now, at dinner, that old fellow from the Baileys
discussed his business with my sister. Maybe he’s thinking of doing business with my family.”
Pursing his lips, John sank into deep thoughts but could not piece the puzzle. He could only say
goodbye to Logan for now and led Sophia into the car.
The dress Sophia wore made her feel as if she was tormented. When she sat on the back passenger
seat, she lifted her dress up a little and crossed her legs comfortably.
John looked at her dress and took off his jacket to cover her legs, whereupon Sophia turned to look at
him. Isn’t John acting a bit odd today?
Usually, John was very conservative and prude, but he had reached out for her hand in the room to
display his affection. He must have been so drunk.
Indeed, John felt a little dizzy and was leaning on the seat with his eyes closed.
When the driver stopped the car in front of their house, Sophia was the first to hop off. When she
closed the car door on her side, John finally opened his eyes slowly.
His eyes were bloodshot, but he was awake and energized. It seemed that he had not been asleep
during the journey back home.
Sophia ran upstairs and quickly changed her clothes. When she was washing her face in the bathroom,
John came over for her.
He stood at the door and leaned against the doorframe, talking to her at a higher volume. “What should
we buy for Uncle Owen’s birthday gift?”
He’s at it again. She stopped and stared at her reflection in the mirror, rolling her eyes before she could
stop herself.
Last time, when she had accompanied Dylan to pick a birthday gift, her hair almost fell out from the
huge fuss. Now, she had to go through the same cycle with John. God, she was adamantly against it.
He sensed her silence and added, “I can’t think of a suitable gift. I thought that women might have
more ideas, so I wanted you to help me think of something.”
Sophia smacked her lips and absentmindedly suggested, “Just get another pair of cufflinks. Uncle
Owen changes them all the time. It would be nice for him to switch between the cufflinks you and Dylan
gave him.”
